[HELP!] Asus Fonepad 7 fe170cg stuck at lollipop

3 days ago I got a lollipop ota update to my fe170cg. Everything is cool except rooting. I want to root this device like a used to do at kitkat.
But I couldn't find any solution to root this device. I also tried VampireFo's tethered CWM recovery but no luck with that it is not even flashing CWM because of the tigth locked asus lollipop bootloader. I also tried to downgrade to kitkat because of the lollipop recovery But I couldn't downgrade. Now I have no more chance to root this device. And no chance to downgrade to kitkat as well. So I decided to ask professionals like you. I really need help!!. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks from now for any response.

Hey there!
Not sure this will help you or not..for me it just doing good. Try use fastboot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
Then you need you flash the a stock firmware. UL-K012-WW-11.2.3.33-user
Download the appropriate firmware from Asus website. There are three .img files in the firmware zip file (fastboot.img, boot.img, splashscreen.img).
Copy all these three files to the extracted folder. Now type the following command in the command window one by one:
fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash splashscreen splashscreen.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then you get your droidboot back.

Hi,
The same boot loop error also I encountered , and here is how i solved it.
1. First U need to download this tool -> HONOR_6_and_6Plus_Multi-Tool
2. run the Honor6MultiTool.bat
3. it will ask to install universal ADB driver. follow the instruction and install
4. then 6th option will be UNBRICK, Enter ur choice: 6
5. Then u follow the instruction
After that the phone will boot.
If any problem will occur do comment below.
All The Best!!

the device does not enters fastboot mode just show the bootlogo
it enters fastboot but still the device wont boot
can you tell me the commands to flash all files from the update.app from fastboot
maybe that will solve the issue

DOWNLOAD stock firmware (update.app) extract from it Recovery.img system.img boot.img cache.img cust.img.and userdata.img. then turn your mobile in fastboot and connect to usb, open CMD in PC and write CD "path to adb.exe", when you are there, copy extracted files there too and write in CMD this lines:
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
fastboot flash cache CACHE.img
fastboot flash cust CUST.img
fastboot flash userdata USERDATA.img
when you will finish write FASTBOOT REBOOT and that's all

i tried this already but it did not work
i think flashing all the 22 files from the update.app file will work
or i have to wait till the lollipop update file comes out
my bootloader is unlocked so will my device be repaired under warranty(huawei didn't mentioned voiding warranty by unlocking bootloader while getting the code)

Update from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1

Hello, i'm trying to upgrade my rooted nexus 5 from 5.1.1 LMY48I to 6.0.1 MOB30H without losing my data, but at first boot, stops at android logo. I follow this steps with nexus root toolkit:
- Erasing Boot, Cache, Recovery and System.
- Flashing bootloader, radio, cache, boot and system with official .img files from Google developers webpage
- Flashing recovery with TWRP .img
After all these steps, stops on android logo...
Any ideas?

Do a factory reset

Do NOT use toolkits!
My first advice is: Do NOT flash using toolkits! You never know what's exactly going on if you don't do it manually. There are plenty of reasons why to not use them...
Okay, now my second advice: Don't flash cache partitions. Caches are built during boot/runtime. However, as far as I know, a corrupted cache partition can lead to bootloops - so it's better to just wipe them before boot...
I don't know what the toolkit did and what not - but try to follow these steps:
1. Install fastboot and adb
Preferred method is via Android Studio command line tools from official source: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html - Scroll down to "Get just the command line tools". You can decide between an installer or just a zip. It's your choice.
2. Boot your phone in bootloader mode and execute these commands one by one...
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp-recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Use the proper files! Extract bootloader and radio from latest Google factory image and download TWRP from twrp.me!
3. Boot your phone into TWRP and choose wipe -> DO NOT SLIDE TO FACTORY RESET -> advanced wipe -> cache + dalvik ticked, rest unticked -> slide to wipe
4. Try to boot...
Not sure if it works - but that's the only thing I can think of right now
EDIT: @GtrCraft That would definitely solve his bootloop, but he wants to keep his data Hopefully he heeds my advice to keep his hands off of toolkits!

Then he should do all the ota's instead of flashing the factory image
Sent from my XT1562 using XDA Labs

Don't do full-quotes please.
Seriously? His device is rooted and therefore not receiving OTA (over-the-air!) updates. He'd have to catch all of the zips and flash them manually. So why not just use the system.img?

Because you have to factory reset the device. That's the downside of being rooted and wanting to update, especially with M

I'm sorry to say that you're terribly wrong. I hope you didn't factory reset your device every single time you did an update just because you're rooted! Actually you can use the flash-all.bat file that's provided with the factory image. Just remove the "-w" flag from the "fastboot update" command. This will stop fastboot from wiping your /data partition.
That's what the OP could use as well - however, for his better understanding I listed the commands separately.

For what it's worth, this is the script that I've been using since the monthly updates started (copied from another XDA thread which I've forgotten - apologies to the OP of this script).
Preparation.
- Take a TWRP backup and save it on your PC.
- Download factory image and unzip all files, including the zip within the zip. Rename the *.img files to the names below. Copy all of them to the same folder as your ADB/fastboot executables.
- Download the relevant TWRP and rename to twrp.img - also put in ADB/fastboot folder.
- Copy SuperSU to device (if root wanted).
- Set USB debugging in Developer options & attach to your PC.
- Open a CMD window and check connectivity with "adb devices". If it's ok, copy & paste each command below into the CMD window and run them - the only lengthy one is the system.img.
1. adb reboot bootloader
2. fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
3. fastboot reboot-bootloader
4. fastboot flash radio radio.img
5. fastboot reboot-bootloader
6. fastboot erase system
7. fastboot flash system system.img
8. fastboot erase boot
9. fastboot flash boot boot.img
10. fastboot erase cache
11. fastboot flash cache cache.img
12. fastboot reboot-bootloader
13. fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
14. From bootloader boot to TWRP and reflash SuperSU
Start to finish - 15 minutes, including the rebuilding of the apps. No data loss (because you haven't touched the data/userdata partition).
I don't say that every step is essential (I note the comment from experience7 about cache) - but this works fine for me.
Please feel free to amend or correct...

Same problem again. I'm trying all 6.x.x versions but same problem. All commands running without error.

In that case all I can suggest is that you bite the bullet and run the flash-all.bat. Back up all your important stuff (photos, etc.) because you'll lose them.
I've seen it suggested often that you should always do a full wipe when upgrading between major versions (e.g. 5 to 6), so maybe this will fix your problem and give you a working phone even if you lose some data and have to set up from scratch.
P.S. Please "Quick reply" - don't repeat the entire previous post. We've all read it; we don't need to read it again.

"Search for a full guide thread. I'm sure you will come out with something."
Excellent advice. It's amazing that so many experienced senior members with all their years of combined knowledge missed that blindingly obvious idea...

Problem solved by unfreezing all frozen apps from Titanium Backup before upgrade.
Thank you!

You need this files (if using last factory image, hammerhead-m4b30z-factory-625c027b.zip):
boot.img
bootloader-hammerhead-hhz20h.img
cache.img
radio-hammerhead-m8974a-2.0.50.2.30.img
recovery.img
system.img
userdata.img
so unzip hammerhead-m4b30z-factory-625c027b.zip (factory image), the unzip
image-hammerhead-m4b30z.zip (located inside factory image) to get all files above
in the same folder and last but not least flashing (in fastbood mode):
type this (one line each time and press enter after each line)
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-hammerhead-hhz20h.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-hammerhead-m8974a-2.0.50.2.30.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img (this wipe your device.)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot reboot.
That's all
Good luck

Sorry, can't help. Never happened to me. It seems a hardware issue!

Error 7 Device name is "" instead of "ShieldTablet"

So i goofed up and wiped everything under advanced when I was switching Roms. I was able to get the original recovery image installed (nv-recovery-st-wx-na-wf-5.2.0.zip) but if i reinstall TWRP and attempt to install any rom, the device name is still "" instead of "ShieldTablet". Is there anyway to restore the device name? I have been digging around on the forums (Including other device forums) but installing recovery is all I have been able to find. (Note: There was some guides advising removal of the device name check from the script within the image file, then re-zipping it. But this seems to always fail with a bad image error.)
Recovery was installed manually using fastboot:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash staging blob
Recovery image pulled from https://developer.nvidia.com/shield-open-source

More info to issue.
Boot into bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash staging blob
Boot into OS. (everything works.)
EnableUSB debug
adb shell settings get global device_name (Gives back "SHIELD Tablet")
Reboot into bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.5.1_9-0-shieldtablet.img
Reboot into twrp
Copy on Rom and attempt to install.
Error text:
E3004: This package is for device: shieldtablet; this device is .
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/Lineage-14.1-20210312-unofficial-shieldtablet.zip'
Note: above error text occurs when trying to install any ROM.
I am trying to figure out where "E3004: This package is for device: shieldtablet; this device is ." is pulling the device name. That is the part that I need to fix somehow.

Hi did you try to use a older version of twrp ? I also had my issues with the 9.5.1 version as it doesnt recognize my sdcard so i reflashed the version 9.5.0

You beautiful person! Downgrading from twrp-3.5.1_9-0-shieldtablet.img to twrp-3.5.0_9-0-shieldtablet.img allowed the img to install!

Checking in with the same problem. Thank you for the solution listed of downgrading to 3.5.0_9-0.
Currently flashing!
